Last week, there was an announcement of funding for roads. Again, the N71, which is the main west Cork road, and the R586 were excluded from any funding. I ask the Taoiseach to intervene in this issue. It is not a case that it is not happening on a yearly basis or we are not getting funding. It is now a case of not getting funding from decade to decade on the main routes from Innishannon, Bandon and Clonakilty into west Cork and our roads are getting seriously run down.

I think that is a Topical Issue rather than an item for the Order of Business.

It is about strategic infrastructure. I would appreciate the Taoiseach's views on the matter.

The Macroom by-pass is in the programme. I am not sure of the details regarding what Deputy Michael Collins is talking about. I am not sure whether he is talking about national or non-national roads in respect of west Cork.

National roads.

The Deputy should put down a Topical Issue and we will try to facilitate it.
